Starting from April, the connection between Moscow, Damascus and Cairo suddenly became closer. Arab countries can be called powerful countries, with only three countries, Egypt, Syria and Iraq. Among the earliest Arab alliances, these three countries had the greatest voice, but later Saudi Arabia came from behind with oil and gradually expanded its influence. At this time, there was chaos in Iraq, and Egypt and Syria had the most voice in the Arab alliance.

The relationship between Egypt, Syria and the Soviet Union became increasingly close, and this situation was controlled by Egypt, Syria and Mossad spies. Israel also knew that it was a pro-American country, and behind the Arabs was the Soviet Union.

Although the United Arab Republic has disintegrated, the relationship between Syria and Egypt is still good. Especially when it comes to Israel, the new Assad is even stronger than Nasser. Since last year, Israel and Syria have frequently exchanged fire on the border and shelled each other.

"Egypt and Syria are under increasing pressure on our north and south directions, and behind this is the shadow of the Soviet Union." Prime Minister Levi Ashkell ​​looked at the general with a blindfold in front of him. The one-eyed general was Moses Dayan, who had just taken office as Israel's Minister of Defense.

Israel's Prime Minister and Defense Minister have always been a single person, so that all Israel's energy can be concentrated more quickly for combat. It was not until the beginning of this year that Levi Ashkell ​​appointed a new defense minister for the first time.

"Are Nasser ready to go to war? But this possibility cannot be ignored." Moses Dayan thought about it and could not rule out this possibility.

"It's not that we can't ignore this possibility. Once the Soviet Union or Russians feel that something is possible to succeed, they will do it. I know the people of that country very well." Levi Ashkell ​​said with confidence, "We must take the initiative to attack before the threat is formed and defeat the military forces of the two countries. Take the initiative, so the Soviet Union has no choice. Moses, burst out all our forces at once and make a quick plan."

Levi Ashkoll was born in Olatovo, near Kiev, the Russian Empire. He joined the Zionist movement during college and then Palestine in the Ottoman Empire. During World War I, he fought with the Ottomans with the British as a member of the Jewish Legion. He said he knew the Soviet Union very well because he was born there.

When Israel was just founded, pro-Soviet and pro-US forces were very strong. During the First Middle East War, Israel was supported by the Soviet Union. However, now camps are interchanging, and the Soviet Union has become a supporter of most Arab countries. As Israel's Russian Jews became more and more pro-Soviet and gradually became a national consciousness. This is how Levi Ashkell ​​was.

"By launching the Middle East war between Egypt and Syria and eliminating Israel's war capabilities, starting last year, the security situation in the Middle East has taken a sharp turn. It can be said that Israel is preparing for war at any time. Then once the war begins, there are two possibilities. Egypt and Syria first attack Israel. What I want to talk about is the second possibility, that is, Israel will take the lead in starting a war and raid the surrounding Arab countries." Selov pointed to the Middle East situation chart on the wall and said, "Once this happens, we must take how to support Egypt and Syria. I think the support must be strong. If we have to choose one between Egypt and Saudi Arabia, it must be Egypt. The religious atmosphere of Saudi Arabia is the enemy of our Soviet Union."

"As long as it becomes a war of attrition, Israel will inevitably not be able to hold on. There are only those Jews, and it depends on what the Egyptians do." The reason why the Minister of Defense Marshal Grechko said is very simple. The Arabs can lose a thousand times, and the Israelites cannot lose once. Even if Israel wins every time, as long as the Egyptians persist in playing a good exchange ratio, Israel will surrender from victory after victory.

At different times and places, both sides were preparing for war. The Soviet Union's idea was to let Egypt and Syria attack Israel first and remove the possible nuclear threat from Israel, while Israel was ready to take the initiative to kill the military forces of the two countries and change the pressure of being surrounded by two directions in one fell swoop.

Selov knew that Israel's key target of attack must be Egypt, so he deployed the secretly prepared Sam air defense missile battalion to the Sinai Peninsula, and dispatched Egypt's Soviet military advisory group to defend it. At the same time, he ambushed the fighter-bomber group in Syria, waiting for an opportunity to kill Israel's nuclear base during the war. This was approved by Ustinov.

The KGB Middle East Division established dozens of secret observation stations and small radar stations along the border between Syria and Israel. Once the Israeli air force crossed the border, it would definitely be discovered immediately. The surveillance efforts were strengthened again, and the intelligence from the Middle East was changed to report once a day. At this time, a person stepped onto the land of Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union.

Later, the Middle East lion, leader of the Syrian Alawites, Minister of Defense and Air Force Commander. Lieutenant General of the Syrian Air Force, Hafiz Assad, accepted an invitation from the Soviet Ministry of Defense. However, after he arrived in Moscow, he realized that he was not only facing the Soviet Ministry of Defense, but also the chairman of the Soviet National Security Council, Selov, the General Political Commissar of the National Security Council, as well as the Central Secretary Ustinov, Andropov and others.

"Can we trust you?" After a warm welcome, several important cadres from the powerful Soviet department finally got to the point. Selov looked at the Middle East lion and said this from the bottom of his heart.

"Why do gentlemen of the Soviet Union say that? With the relationship between our two countries, there is no need to have something to say." Hafiz Assad said with a relaxed look, "We are allies, aren't we?"

"Yes, we are allies." Selov handed over the latest information to Hafiz Assad, "so we decided to help you once, and hope you don't want Mr. Nasser to turn a blind eye to our reminders and warnings."

Intelligence was sent from the United States, and a batch of arms had been loaded from the United States to port, full of military supplies, including tanks, fighter jets and other related war supplies. At the same time, a fund of up to 3 billion yuan of financial assistance has arrived in Israel. There are hundreds of tanks on the full cargo ship, which can fully supplement Israel's armored forces.

"You see Comrade Selov's documents. It can be said that Israel's war preparations have been completed. The war can actually begin at any time. If you start first, we have no objection, but we are afraid of Mr. Nasser's judgment that does not know the danger. When we remind Mr. Nasser, he told us not to worry. Even if the war begins, Egypt will not be wiped out in one wave." Ustinov said helplessly, "Although the military advisory group in Egypt has more than 10,000 people, we cannot bypass Egypt and take direct orders, otherwise we will ignore the authority of the Egyptian government too much."

"Shelov said you are trustworthy, so this time we invited you to visit Moscow through the Ministry of Defense." Andropov looked at Shelov, then looked at Hafiz Assad and said, "There is no Israeli territory and population that cannot be organized, and the number of troops has always been attacking you at the same time. There will definitely be a trade-off in the direction of the attack. But one day it will not change, and this is the first time that the air force has dispatched. Israel has received more than 200 American fighter jets in the past two months, so the first step in the war is to dispatch the air force to destroy your air force at the airport."

"The Japanese and Germans did too many things during World War II, but only the Israelites started the war without saying hello after the war. The biggest sorrow of the air force is that it was eliminated at the airport." Shelov looked at Hafiz Assad with a bright look and said, "General Assad, the lion of the Middle East? You are the commander of the Syrian Air Force. If the air force is gone, how can you, the commander of the air force, handle yourself."

At this time, Assad was the Syrian Ministry of Defense and Air Force Commander. Once the Syrian Air Force is eliminated, he, the Air Force Commander, is likely to become a scapegoat. In history, Assad eventually turned defeat into victory, but he believed that even if he knew he would win in the end, he would not be willing to have such an experience.

"I have established dozens of surveillance points on the border between you and Israel, and the Syrian Air Force's combat readiness must be improved immediately, because the possibility of Israel's raids is increasing. We cannot interfere with Egypt's decision, but we still hope that Syria can be prepared. Once the Israeli raids succeed, it will cause an indelible blow to the entire Arabs. Once the confidence of a nation is destroyed, anything can happen." Central Secretary Andropov knew this truth better than anyone else, and warned Assad very seriously.

"I understand, thank you for your reminder from the Soviet friends." Hafiz Assad expressed his gratitude after being silent for a long time. From the psychological activities opposite, Serov sensed a sense of seriousness and knew that the Middle East lion had heard the words of these people.

Assad stayed in Moscow for a few days. When he left, he was filled with top secret documents of the KGB and a batch of Soviet military supplies. When he left, he said last, "Wars often start with carelessness, but sometimes he will turn around and choose to launch a raid when he is the strongest in war." He remembered that the war began on Monday, and during the Fourth Middle East War, the Arab countries simply launched a war against Israel on Yom Kippur.

A few days later, as preparation for the war, Nasser ordered Egypt to take over the positions of the United Nations emergency forces between Egypt and Israel as a preparation for a possible war. The KGB issued a final harsh warning that "the raids of the Israeli Air Force must be prevented." (To be continued.)
